MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE (and if you are reading this on Christmas, Merry Christmas)! I hope that you are having a wonderful time with your family and friends, eating lots of yummy food, and laughing a lot! Fingers crossed that I’m on the “good list” this year (all signs point to “no”)! As we speak, I’m planning a little Christmas scavenger hunt for my nieces…having little ones around always makes Christmas more exciting and joyful.
I cannot believe I’m back in the US for Christmas! It’s good…it’s weird…it’s strange…but I’m glad to be back for a bit. It’s really nice to have things that I missed like peanut butter, American coffee, and my car, but I’m starting to realize how short this time actually is as my schedule begins to fill. This is my last scheduled trip home, and I have no idea when I will be back next. SO MUCH to do and to get(oh my gosh, I can’t wait for COSTCO)…and it’s so crazy realizing that I left behind many of my absolute favorite things here in the states. Looking back, I think it was a really overwhelming time right before I moved to Milan and I definitely wasn’t thinking clearly! It’s good to see my favorite earrings on my dresser, find that my beloved IHYC sailing hat still smells like the Sound, and put on my worn-in soft workout tops (which are acceptable to wear here in the US!).
T-minus a few weeks until I’m back in Milano! I plan to work on my Italian (a lot) and work on the blog as much as possible! STAY TUNED. What would you like to see on here? Really. More round ups? Health, exercise, DIY, interior decor (all of which, I LOVE btw)….what could you use a bit more of in this New Year? Let me know, I want this little blog to serve you as best as possible! (e-mail me! wearbowsandsmile@gmail.com)
With SO MUCH Gratefulness and Love,
